The Kingsmen ‎– The Kingsmen Volume 3 1965 (Wand)

Label : Wand

Value :

The Kingsmen's third album featured "The Jolly Green Giant", a novelty number which reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart and #25 on the Billboard R&B chart, along with several other R&B classics and a couple of Wailers covers. As with previous albums, crowd noise overdubs were added on some tracks to simulate a live performance. The album sold well due to the success of "The Jolly Green Giant", the group's frenetic touring schedule, and the ongoing controversy over the lyrics of "Louie Louie". It entered the Billboard Top LPs chart on February 20, 1965, and remained for 18 weeks, peaking at No. 22.The LP was released in mono (WDM 662) and stereo (WDS 662) versions.
